This world-renowned Knowlton novelist

Posted bySylvain BolducPosted inPeople here

Louise Penny’s thrillers are almost all set in Three Pines, a fictional village in the Eastern Townships. The 11th volume of his police series “Armand Gamache enquête”, La nature de la bête, has just been published in French. Officially, therefore in reality, Three Pines does not exist. But here and there, in several villages of the Eastern Townships (Sutton, Knowlton, North Hatley, etc.), one can find a business, a place of worship or a park, which caught Louise Penny’s eyes and a bit of her heart. >>>

The books of this series have earned him four times in a row (2007-2010) the Agatha Award for Crime Novel of the Year, which conforms to the genre of whodunit in the style ofAgatha Christie
